I get strange readings from my outside Temperature sensor...
Both Temperature and Humidity.
What is this ??? Is it broken, or what? Never seen this before.

I guess your sensor is broken.
I have a simular problem with a WTGR800 temperature sensor. With a temperature below 20 degrees this sensor displays a high to very high temperature. The first time the sensor indicates a temperature of about 30 degrees while the outside temperature was about 10. My first thought was that a spider was on the temperature sensor but this is certainly not the case with a temperature indication of 57.5

Thanks Bert,
So I'm not the only one seeing this strange behavior.
Looks like I'll have to replace this sensor with something else...

Me selling stuff won't result in a new Temp/Humidity sensor for myself..

Wrong. This is what happened when I replaced the sensor with another one (October 16, after 12:00, see the temperature drop).
Now this one is broken too??? I don't believe that.
There has to be another cause.... but what?

This is the 2nd Oregon THGR238N "All weather" that fails in a very short period...
The LCD display shows the right values.
I will place the 2nd one at a different outside location and see what happens.
